FIXED BUGS

Unless its a feature the skill gaining is messed up, ive been gaining addiotional random skills everyday (its day 1 hour 6 and i have five level 1 skills), also i dont know if is intended (as a hint to the story of the game or something) but zombies never go inside CHA buildings unless they are chasing someone, altough its nice to have a very safe place

Damn it. Skill bug indeed, forgot a condition check. I try to check everything and STILL leak stupid bugs like that. I'll do a super-fast 3.21.And Zombies do get inside CHAR offices, you were just lucky/unlucky.

Also i dont know if survivors are super fast but they always seems to be 4+ survivors inside barricaded CHA buildings with guards in the front gate (but i always tell myself that they are secretaries, janitors and such so no harm) And guess i have been lucky since i pretty much tend to sleep with doors open in CHA buildings with no incidents. You should keep the random extra skill (maybe as a configurable option?) just lower the chance to acquire. Also im wondering how are you going to implement stealth?, i dont know how hard it would be to implemet but i think a simple way would be a toggle option like running, when the skill is active it creates an AoE fog of war effect on the character, higher levels make the area bigger so when its high leveled enough enemies will be inside the fog and wont be able to see you but you can see them. Obviously doesnt work if an enemy spoted you, if there is a enemy next to you or if you are out in the open in clear wheather and prolly would drain more Stamina than runnin depending on the OP.

wow this game can has really long loading times =D mine loaded for 20 minutes... district size 150.i think you should mention how long can they actually load... cos i thought it freezed before once...damn .net, and eats cpu like no tomorrow... at this rate my computer will have a real zombie apocalypse inside =D

There's not much I can do about very long loading times for very high options settings, and I can't estimate time left its out of my control. There's a warning in the options screen, take it seriously ^^

yeah, i just didn't take it THAT seriously ) that is not a problem for me after i know about it, but i think it should be made more clear for others =Dthere seems to be a problem with firing atk value due to stamina loss."Firing accuracy penalty is now given if tired (big penalty) or stamina bar not full (light penalty) (was if running)"in reality its more like quite big penalty if bar is not full, and a little bit more penalty if tired... like -3, -4. or -8, -10. i think the first value should be toned down )
